Inflatable Turbo Tire
NOTE: Your vehicle's Turbo Tire may not be
fully inflated when you take it out of the box.
Use the included pin to inflate it.
Use only a hand pump to inflate the
tire.
The tire is fully inflated when there's
about 1/8" (.33 cm) of clearance
between the tire and the vehicle
body. DON'T OVERINFLATE IT! If you
overinflate the tire, it will rub against
the vehicle body, preventing it from
turning freely. If this happens, simply
use the inflation pin to let air out of
the tire until it returns to its proper
size.
Be sure to keep the inflation pin, so
you can reinflate the tire when nec-
essary.
III. TRANSMITTER
NOTE: Your transmitter is equipped with a
special automatic ON battery-saving feature.
Just turn your vehicle ON. Then push either
transmitter button and you will be able to run
and control your vehicle.

VI. AWESOME STUNTS!
This manual shows you how to do some of the
most exciting stunts ever! Once you start driv-
ing your Air Rebound™ vehicle, you'll realize it
can perform lots of other amazing stunts! So
drive your vehicle, use your imagination, and
come up with your own stunts! (Give 'em cool
names too!)
BASH & BOUNCE!
For amazing big-air stunts, drive your vehicle
off a curb or ramp (don't exceed 4'/1.2m in
height). You can rotate the vehicle while it's in
mid-air by pushing the transmitter buttons up
or down. With a little practice, you'll be able
to make the inflatable tire hit the ground
first...for truly awesome bouncing action!
Try this stunt with the inflatable tire
in front...and with the drive wheels
in front.
SUPER-FAST 360°s!
For wild 360° spins, just push the left button
up and the right button down. For spins in the
opposite direction, push the left button down
and the right button up!
Your vehicle will do 360° spins on
many different surfaces...but not on
carpeting.
WALL-CLIMBING ROLLOVER!
Position your vehicle with the inflatable tire
touching the wall. Push both buttons up. Keep
both buttons pressed all the way up. Your
vehicle will roll over and then drive away from
the wall.
THE VEHICLE COULD LEAVE MARKS
ON THE WALL WHEN IT SLAMS
AGAINST IT. USE CAUTION!
DON'T AIM YOUR VEHICLE AT PEO-
PLE, ANIMALS OR FRAGILE
OBJECTS.
HIT & FLIP!
Aim your vehicle at a low obstacle or wall
(about 3-4"/6.5-10cm). Make sure the inflatable
tire is pointing toward the obstacle. Push both
buttons up to accelerate toward the obstacle.
As you go over it, your vehicle will do all kinds
of crazy flips.
FLIP-OVERS!
Push both buttons down to drive in reverse.
After you hit full speed, quickly release one of
the buttons, then jam it up quickly. Your vehi-
cle will do a cool flip-over!
VII. QUICK TIPS
When your vehicle starts to lose power, it
may lose functions or performance. It's
time for a recharge. Your vehicle's running
time may change depending on your driving
style.
Radio interference can make your vehicle
run badly. Interference can be caused by
other R/C vehicles running on the same fre-
quency; electrical wires; large buildings; or
CB radios. Try to stay away from these!
Hold the transmitter above waist level. If
the antenna is too low, or touches other
objects (including your body), your vehicle
may not operate properly. And your vehicle
won't work properly if it gets too far away.
Don't drive your vehicle in sand or through
water or snow. If your vehicle does get wet,
wipe with a towel and allow to dry com-
pletely.
Don't store your vehicle near heat or in
direct sunlight. Always turn switches OFF
and remove all batteries for storage.
